A silk textile composed of four rectangular fragments joined into a grid. A dense, repeating pattern features small dark blue and white flowers with pops of red intertwined with scrolling green and gold vines. Horizontal bands of alternating yellow-gold and muted green stretch across the fragments. The edges are frayed and irregular, revealing the fine, shimmering texture of the woven threads.
